God

For I have kept the ways of Jehovah, And have not wickedly departed from my God.

For all his ordinances were before me, And I put not away his statutes from me.

I was also perfect with him, And I kept myself from mine iniquity.

Therefore hath Jehovah recompensed me according to my righteousness, According to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight.

With the merciful thou wilt show thyself merciful; With the perfect man thou wilt show thyself perfect;

With the pure thou wilt show thyself pure; And with the perverse thou wilt show thyself froward.

For thou wilt save the afflicted people; But the haughty eyes thou wilt bring down.

For thou wilt light my lamp: Jehovah my God will lighten my darkness.

For by thee I run upon a troop; And by my God do I leap over a wall.

As for God, his way is perfect: The word of Jehovah is tried; He is a shield unto all them that take refuge in him.

For who is God, save Jehovah? And who is a rock, besides our God,

The God that girdeth me with strength, And maketh my way perfect?

Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation; And thy right hand hath holden me up, And thy gentleness hath made me great.

For thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle: Thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me.

They cried, but there was none to save; Even unto Jehovah, but he answered them not.

Thou hast delivered me from the strivings of the people; Thou hast made me the head of the nations: A people whom I have not known shall serve me.

Jehovah liveth; and blessed be my rock; And exalted be the God of my salvation,

Even the God that executeth vengeance for me, And subdueth peoples under me.

He rescueth me from mine enemies; Yea, thou liftest me up above them that rise up against me; Thou deliverest me from the violent man.

Therefore I will give thanks unto thee, O Jehovah, among the nations, And will sing praises unto thy name.

Great deliverance giveth he to his king, And showeth lovingkindness to his anointed, To David and to his seed, for evermore.

The heavens declare the glory of God; And the firmament showeth his handiwork.

Their line is gone out through all the earth, And their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun,

The law of Jehovah is perfect, restoring the soul: The testimony of Jehovah is sure, making wise the simple.

The precepts of Jehovah are right, rejoicing the heart: The commandment of Jehovah is pure, enlightening the eyes.
